Did Tee Really start this ?

[hog88]

Just curious, what would be the reaction of the VolNation faithful if the infractions turned out to be serious enough to fire Pruitt, and Chadwell or Healy was hired as the next coach?

Cautiously hopeful but expecting the worse.

 

[hog88]

I see no reason Tee Martin shouldn’t be given every chance to follow Pruitt regardless of the ending. Tee knows just as much football as Freeze, Chadwell or Napier. I’d love to see Tee as our head coach! The players love him, coaches around him support him.

LOL

UT should never be a training ground for 1st time head coaches.

 

[cgrish]

I would be 100% checked out if Tee Martin was EVER named HC here, I appreciate Tee's time here as a player but he doesn't need the keys to this car

And what do you base this opinion on? I would say he is better qualified than pruitt. But with that said I had rather have a proven hc.

But we are

Why does Martin pull his name from the South Alabama job if he hates Pruitt so much?

Report: Tee Martin removes name from South Alabama search

Maybe he knows he is getting ut job

We need a head coach with experience right now to rebuild the program. Until he builds his resume at the smaller schools and proves he is ready for greater responsibilities, then he is all wrong for the job.

I disagree, he knows the lay of the land here better than anyone.

Tee has been gone for almost 20 years.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pruitt likely to be fired before the @TreyWallace_ article but after it dropped it is exceedingly likely he's gone

So...Pruitt was likely to be fired before all this but after it dropped it's more likely........what a nothing sentence.

 

[LAVol1]

Trey operates in message board rumor

I've know Trey since he was 14 years old. His family and Tee's family are close. Whether Trey is getting info from Tee or not, I don't know. But there is definitely a connection there.

You can't promote him to HC just because it feels right. He needs to go out and build his resume.

He the associate HC right now, next man up if we fire Pruitt

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

I’m like many of you, I want a coach to come in here and right the ship and take us back where we belong.

I don’t know Tee or anything about him, but I’m sure of this, he is a VOL and there is no way he could do much worse than what we have had recently.

If they fire Pruitt, I would also expect them to fire the entire coaching staff.

 

[PA Vol]

And what do you base this opinion on? I would say he is better qualified than pruitt.

How can anybody objectively say that?

Pruitt's resume consists of successful stops as a DC at Alabama, Georgia, and FSU, consisting of four National Championships.

Tee's career stops have been at New Mexico, Kentucky, and USC, where his only stint as an OC was shared and he was later demoted for the offensive struggles.

I'm not defending Pruitt, he needs to go. But this is laughable.

 

[cgrish]

Don't forget that Tee also swayed his son away from playing for his Alma Mater.

Which was the right decision for his son

 

[PA Vol]

I really hope the next staff keeps Graham around. The guy keeps coming back and RB hasn't been the issue.

 

[VFL_JB]

I don't think so, Trey's source is volnation and 247. There has been talk of trouble at UT since the summer, Trey being a reporter picked up the phone and asked UT if there was an investigation, they said "yes" but didn't go into detail so Trey made up a bunch of filler BS. Thats more likely because there hasn't been any follow up to this story and most that would know say it's not as serious as what Trey is making it out to be.

Entire Fanrun crew is trash. Trey literally put out a report about UT's compliance dept doing an internal investigation. Some are acting like he dropped some huge investigative journalism piece. It is void of any detail and basically reads like a statement from UT.

If Tee had successful head coaching experience I could support him. But if he is named here now he is just a Fulmer puppet and you might as well just put Fulmer in there. Which would be a big mistake.

But 0 as a hc

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Exactly when did Vol Nation turn into TMZ Sports?

 

[PA Vol]

But 0 as a hc

Same goes for Tee...

Hell, Tee doesn't even have a win as a head coach.

If you want to attract the good coaches, you have to let them bring in their own staff.

Uhh...yeah he could.

And just for good measure, I'm pretty sure a ton of people were saying that about Pruitt compared to Butch.

 

[MontyPython]

Anyone in the know able to comment on the allegation that Tee and Pruitt don't get along?
